I have Debian Linux installed within the WSL on Windows 11. I can install the standard gretl package there alright. However, when I try to execute "gretl", I get the following error:

(gretl_x11:7726): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:24:09.681: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap

The schema ids files should be provided by the "gsettings-desktop-schemas" package. Is that package installed?

You can verify via 

dpkg -l gsettings-desktop-schemas

apt show gsettings-desktop-schemas

while this prints output which leaves me unsure.

But then I installed the package, so obviously it wasn't there before. Afterwards it (=the GUI program gretl/gretl_x11) runs OK.

But doesn't that mean that the Debian guys need to mark gsettings-desktop-schemas as a dependency? Or is it because gretlcli doesn't need it that it's considered not strictly necessary?

thanks
